like to join us for this presentation, come join us on
Wednesday nights from 7:15 pm to 8:00 pm. Our orchestra rehearses on Sunday afternoons at 3:00 pm.
We are in particular need of a rhythm guitarist for a
couple of songs in the musical.
This Sunday will be an exciting day in the life of
Fairview. Dr. Sizemore will be preaching in both the
8:30 and 11:00 am services. Sunday evening we will

and declare him a “Life Deacon.”
Please continue to be in prayer for our Pastor Selection Committee.
